New Year, Bigger Belly

Happy New Year friends and family! I hope you all had a blessed Christmas and your new year is starting off well. Mine is starting off with an ever growing belly. :) I feel like I JUST posted a picture of my belly, but I was a week late last time and the time has passed quickly with the holidays. Anyway, without further ado....my 28 week belly pic:

I can't believe Aiden will be here in 12 short weeks, give or take a few (I'm hoping to be more on the give side....). Mentally I'm trying to prepare for him to be late (everyone I've talked to who has gone past their due date says those final days are grueling), but in all other aspects I'm trying to prepare for him to be early.

In line with this, we decided to redo our kitchen this past weekend (who needs a relaxing long weekend, right?) We LOVE how it came out. Just took a few hours (or days) of work and a few gallons (5ish) of paint. That's right, the entire transformation was created with painted. We did the ceiling, cabinets, walls and countertops (check out Giani Granite). Important lessons learned: it always takes at least two coats, oil-based paint takes a long time to dry and is tough to get out of hair, we are hiring someone to do the painting next time around. It was honestly worth the effort though, especially because if was so cost effective (less than $400 for the entire project, including a new fan).
Next weekend is a Dallas shower so a new post and lots of pics to come!
